The 1992 Democratic presidential primaries were the selection process by which voters of the Democratic Party chose its nominee for President of the United States in the 1992 U.S. presidential election. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was selected as the nominee through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating in the 1992 Democratic National Convention held from July 13 to July 16, 1992 in New York City. ==Candidates== During the aftermath of the Gulf War, President Bush's approval ratings were extremely high. During one point after the successful performance by U.S forces in Kuwait, President Bush's approval ratings were 89%. As a result, several high profile candidates such as Mario Cuomo refused to seek the Democratic Nomination for President. Senator (later Vice-President) Al Gore refused to seek the nomination due to the fact his son was struck by a car and was undergoing extensive surgery as well as physical therapy. The Democrats lacked a high-profile viable candidate to face an incumbent Republican president. Still, several candidates such as Bill Clinton, Paul Tsongas and Jerry Brown chose to run. Candidates: *Former Mayor Larry Agran of Irvine, California *Former Governor Jerry Brown of California *Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas *Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska *Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa *Former Senator Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts *Governor Douglas Wilder of Virginia *Filmmaker and activist Tom Laughlin *Former Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Democratic Party presidential primaries, 1992」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
